>>Deployments May Be Too Far Advanced to Stop Iraqi Invasion -- 250,000 U.S. Troops Either Already There or Ready to Go Possible Battle Strategy: Easy Military Victory That May Lead to a Global Uprising by Michael C.

Bush to change his mind on the invasion of Iraq. An analysis of troop deployments in the region shows that the U.S. already has well over 100,000 military personnel in as many as 11 countries around Iraq [see map]. Additional analysis shows that another 100,000 or more crack assault and support personnel have just completed a major training exercise for a hypothetical conflict that bears a strong resemblance to Iraq. These troops can be ready to fight in the region on 96-hour notice. "Stealth" mobilizations of Reserve and National Guard units, begun after Sept. 11, also indicate that as many as another 150,000 military personnel can be deployed within days or weeks of an initial surprise attack. <snip> [Comment by CobaltBlue: this is a very long article, with a lot of detail, but the author says don't post without express written authorization, so I won't.
